SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — Two people are dead after a head-on crash in Sacramento County early Saturday morning.

The California Highway Patrol said the two-car crash was reported around 12:15 p.m. along Highway 160 at Sherman Island Road.

The Nissan driver, a 26-year-old man, and a passenger, a 29-year-old woman, both died from their injuries. A two-month-old girl, a five-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy were taken to hospitals with major injuries, according to police.

The driver of the Lexus had major injuries and was taken to an East Bay hospital.
